Application September 1 Claim.

The present invention appertains to new and useful improvements in trundling toys and has particular reference to a toy having a wheel supported axle with a decorated member journaled on an axle and operable by the wheel.

Another important object of the invention re- I sides in the provision of a toy of this nature which is comparatively simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, thoroughly efiicient and reliable in use and operation, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. I

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is a rear elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a detail section taken substantiall on the line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the lower end of the bar.

Figure 6 is a detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes an elongated bar the intermediate portion of which on one' side is cut away providing a space 6 in which is rotatably mounted a decorative member I. The cut-away portion 6 provides an upper shoulder 8 and a lower shoulder 9. The upper shoulder 8 is provided with a journal recess ID for receiving the upper trunnion II on the upper end of the member I. The shoulder 9 is provided with a journal recess l2 for receiving the trunnion M at the lower end of the member 1. The recess I2 is opened'on its side to permit the removal of the trunnion M.

An axle bolt I5 is mounted in the lower end a toy embodying 10, 1935, Serial No. 39,967

of the bar 5 to extend laterally therefrom and a wheel 16 is rotatably mounted thereon and preferably has a tire I! thereabouts, the periphery of which is engageable with the lower end of the member 1 so that when the device is moved along on the wheel IS the member I is'irotated on a vertical or rather on an upright axis. The upper end of the bar 5 is preferably shaped in the form of a convenient handle I8.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of this novelty or, toy will be now clearly understood without a more detailed de scription thereof. 5

The present embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplificatioi since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the cofi bination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is: I V

A toy comprising an elongated bar, a handle on one end of said bar, a wheelijournaled on one side of the bar at the other end thereof, said one side of the bar having an elongated recess therein extending past the periphery'of the wheel 'providing upper and lower shoulders, said shoulders having journal recesses therein; and an elongat ed member rotatable in the recess and having one end frictionally engaged with the periphery of the wheel for actuation thereby, said member including trunnions on itsend's engaged in the journal recesses, the lower joiiirnal recess being open on the side adjacent the wheel for the passage of the lower trunnion, wheel constituting means for retaining the lower trunnion in the lower journal recess.
